That was on the front page, but everyone got a good laugh in the forum. And Kir was kinda of nut back then too if you sign up and disagreed with your opinion on his backstage dancer boy you will get Bazooka. Gavinmac was a mod back then as well who knows what he did.

No rebuttal? Last I checked many years ago, there were over 500 comments from (mostly) very angry Cambodians lambasting Gavin Mac for that article.

And congratulations on your "getting laid with chicks". We are all so fascinated and impressed by your sexual prowess and animal magnetism.

Say what? The 7 reasons things is not is even his unique idea. He gotta a kick out of it with during the 20009-2011 era and felt he is special on the expenses of women he met in Cambodia and people hailed him with no rebuttal. Not that I cared. I was too drunk in the computer lab in college and getting laid with chicks on campus at that time.

I apologize for any offense. In my mind, as I wrote "Unfortunately, your favorite author, Gavin Mac, has been stuck traversing the former Soviet Union or Somalia or whatever other shithole country, and hasn't been able to send anything our way in a while. So we enlisted a new author, Marvin Gak, for a guest article", I thought that I had made it very clear to everyone that it wasn't you.

I understand that my attempt at humor and playfulness backfired, and that by using a name that played off your pseudonym, even in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, could have confused some of your slower witted fans into thinking it was you.

I have fixed the byline, and offer this open apology. It won't happen again.

Cheers,
Mig

I bought a business from a well-known and much-loved Phnom Penh expat back in 2014 or 2015. It was on online business, aimed firmly at the expat population and it had quickly gathered a reputation as a bit of a place to avoid, but entertaining nonetheless. It had a hardcore following, and an even wider audience of furtive lurkers who read it daily while tut-tutting about it to their friends in BKK1 coffee shops, St 104 bars, in the offices of the expat media outlets (RIP) and around the NGOs in town. I knew all that because I'd been involved as a member before, it seemed like a fun thing to do, and I shelled out a bit of cash for a 60% stake.

It was impossible to know what sort of money the business was making - the previous owner usually just pocketed the meagre advertising revenue for his regular jaunts to ladyboy bars or the dwindling number of bars around town he felt safe to be seen in. He gave me some half-arsed figures which didnt really stack up in practice, but it wasn't a huge investment so I went ahead anyway. His fellow shareholders at the time hadn't seen a penny of income from the site for years. He died shortly after selling the business in mysterious circumstances. The less said about that the better.

It turned out to be a good investment, and a lot of fun. I had to keep one of my minority shareholders under control because he was a loose cannon, but apart from that and the occasional threat of beatings from thick necked football hooligans and half a dozen threatened law suits from sundry fools and philandering law firm partners, it was quite a ride. I pulled in enough new advertising revenue to provide the shareholders with around 250% ROI in income in two and a half years, before selling my stake to some enthusiastic young pup newly arrived on the scene. Nice lad - a bit green around the gills - but I hope he's making a go of it.

Anyway, I tell my story to disprove Marvin Gak's central theory. You can make money from buying a business in Cambodia. Unless you're an idiot. Just make sure you have someone lined up to take it off your hands when the time to bail becomes apparent. And try not to die too early after making your get-away.

LOL! I admire the troll that took the time to write this amusing piece.

Also the usage of "much loved" is a dead giveaway the piece was an utter tongue in cheek piss take.

We are all soooo impressed. Lookout, Warren Buffett!

What's even more impressive is how you can come up with so many cool sock puppet names.

Yes timing, only 3 years ago a mate bought 2 units in Snooky, I talked him out of buying a bar and now he's done well with just property price rise. Kampot has also been hit buy a Chinese buying spree lately I read.
